Well, that's just another distinction for clusters. Most of the time 
it's between Shared-Disk vs. Shared-Nothing. You could also see the very 
Big Irons as a Shared-Everything Cluster.

While it's certainly true, that any kind of data partitioning for 
databases only make sense for Shared-Nothing Clusters, I don't think 
it's a 'kind of replication'. AFAIK most database replication solutions 
are built for Shared-Nothing Clusters. (With the exception of 
PgCluster-II, I think).
